2781, Misbranding of oil.    U. S. v. 11 Glass Jugs and 12 Cans İf Oil.    Default
decree of condemnation.    Product ordered delivered to a charitable in- 
stitution.     (F. D. C. No. 5767.    Sample Nos. 74390-E, 74391-E.)
This product consisted essentially of cottonseed oil, artificially flavored and 
colored to simulate olive oil.
On or about September 20, 1941, the United States attorney for the District 
of New Jersey filed a libel against 11 unlabeled- glass jugs and 12 labeled cans 
of oil at Newark, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 23,1941, by the Chandu Coffee Co., from Brooklyn, 
N. Y.; and charging that it was misbranded. The cans of oil were labeled in 
part: (Main panels) "One Gallon Net Fine Edible Oil P. Enrico Brand." 
; The article was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that it was an imitation of 
another food, oilve oil, and its label failed to bear, in type of uniform size and 
prominence, the word "imitation" and, immediately thereafter, the name of the 
food imitated; (2) in that it was in package form and failed to bear a label
containing the name and place of business of the nianufacturer, packer, or 
distributor; (3) in that its label failed to bear the common or usual name of 
the food; and (4) in that it contained artificial flavoring and artificial coloring 
and did not bear labeling stating that fact.
On November 19, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable insti- 
tution.
